600 Highwaymen, USA

A Thousand Ways- An Encounter

Written and Created by Abigail Browde & Michael Silverstone

Just when you think you might be getting a little cynical about the theatre … think about 600 Highwaymen. The New Yorker

Obie Award-winning theatremakers, 600 HIGHWAYMEN, known for exhilarating performances that challenge the very definition of theater, have created a quietly radical response to this new world with A Thousand Ways. Both performances present a new chance at making contact with a stranger. It is a chance at being heard, a brave moment to show up.

An Encounter

You and a stranger meet on opposite ends of a table, separated by a pane of glass. Using a script and a few simple objects, a simple exercise of working together becomes an experience of profound connection with another person. In A Thousand Ways, you are the actor and you are the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools. You need no training. You are the expert.

This is an invitation. Will you attend?
